ext4: Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use generic helpers
Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use __block_page_mkwrite() helper. This removes the need of using i_alloc_sem to avoid races with truncate which seems to be the wrong locking order according to lock ordering documented in mm/rmap.c. Also calling ext4_da_write_begin() as used by the old code seems to be problematic because we can decide to flush delay-allocated blocks which will acquire s_umount semaphore - again creating unpleasant lock dependency if not directly a deadlock. Also add a check for frozen filesystem so that we don't busyloop in page fault when the filesystem is frozen. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
